About Me

Mi último libro es el poemario DESAYUNO EN LA CAMA.###I'm a full-time author, anthologist, and translator. I've published over 90 books, in many different genres and for many different ages, although I'm perhaps best-known for my gay/queer titles.
My first collection of poetry in English is FAIRY TALES FOR WRITERS (A Midsummer Night's Press). Excerpts can be seen at the publisher's website: http://www.amidsummernightspress.com
I've published three collections of my short stories--THE DRAG QUEEN OF ELFLAND (Circlet), HIS TONGUE (North Atlantic), and TWO BOYS IN LOVE (Seventh Window)--and a graphic novel: VACATION IN IBIZA (NBM). I've also edited numerous anthologies, such as THE FUTURE IS QUEER (Arsenal Pulp Press), BEST DATE EVER: TRUE STORIES THAT CELEBRATE GAY RELATIONSHIPS (Alyson), THE MAMMOTH BOOK OF NEW GAY EROTICA (Carroll & Graf), FIRST PERSON QUEER (Arsenal Pulp Press), SWITCH HITTERS: LESBIANS WRITE GAY MALE EROTICA AND GAY MEN WRITE LESBIAN EROTICA (Cleis), KOSHER MEAT (Sherman Asher), FOUND TRIBE: JEWISH COMING OUT STORIES (Sherman Asher), etc.
Right now I'm currently working on BEST GAY POETRY 2009 for A Midsummer Night's Press. You can find the guidelines at www.amidsummernightspress.com
Please do not submit poems to me via myspace or post them in comments.
Some of my non-gay books include: a biography of VENUS AND SERENA WILLIAMS (Andrews McMeel), or the anthologies VAMPIRE STORIES FROM THE AMERICAN SOUTH and VAMPIRE STORIES FROM NEW ENGLAND (Metro Books) and TAROT FANTASTIC and CAMELOT FANTASTIC (DAW Books).
I also write in Spanish, primarily children's books.
I translate from Spanish into English, everything from technical documents to poetry; I've also translated filmscripts, comics, and children's books. Some of the authors I've translated include Jesus Encinar, Luis Cremades, Leopoldo Alas, Luis Martínez de Merlo, Baldomero Lilo, Vicente Segrelles, etc.
If you want to invite me to speak at your university, conference, etc. just drop me a line. I've spoken or presented at Princeton, Yale, Brown, The University of Cadiz, Wayne State, and Rutgers, among many other universities, and at conferences such as Breadloaf or the Melbourne Age Writer's Festival.
I live in Madrid, Spain.
